Cheddar Bayou Biscuits

1 1/2 cups (6 3/4 ounces)
self-rising flour2 Tablespoons cheddar cheese powder2 Tablespoons romano cheese powder1 Tablespoon chives4 Tablespoons cold butter2/3 cup cold milkAdditional butter for brushing the biscuit topsSlap Ya Mama Original Cajun Seasoning Preheat the oven to 400 degrees with a rack in the center of the oven. Line a
baking sheet with parchment paper.In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour, cheese powders, and chives.
Whisk to combine.Cut the butter into chunks and drop it into the bowl with the flour. Cut the
butter in with two knives or a pastry cutter until the largest bits are no
bigger than a pea. Add the milk and fold gently to moisten all the flour. The
dough should be a little bit wet. If it's dry and thick, add a bit more milk.
If it seems too wet, don't fret. You can make up for that when you roll the
biscuits.Flour your work surface and turn out the dough. Dust the top with flour. With a
rolling pin, roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle the dough and
your work surface as needed to keep the dough from sticking. You'll need more
at the beginning and not much later.Fold the dough in thirds, like a letter. Roll the dough again, this time to 1/2
thick. Fold in thirds again, like a letter. Roll it to 3/4 inch thick. Using a
3-inch biscuit cutter, dip the cutter in flour, then cut as many rounds as you
can from the dough. Try to keep from twisting the cutter as you cut.Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet leaving space bewteen them.Gather the scraps, piling them on top of each other, trying not to turn them
sideways - you created nice layers with the folding, you want to keep them
running horizontally. Roll the dough again to 3/4 inch thick and cut as many
more biscuits as you can.You can re-roll a third time, if you need to, or just gather the scraps and
make one last hand-formed biscuit.Bake the biscuits at 400 degrees until nicely browned, about 18 minutes.Move the biscuits to a rack. Brush the tops with butter, then sprinkle with as
much of the Slap Ya Mama seasoning as you like.Serve.
